Woo hoo! We now have 12 entries in the summer gift exchange name contest! 5 more names came to our e-mail in the last 5 minutes! (I have a feeling it has something to do with GardenWeb having had trouble with their e-mail system. Seems to be working now!) Boy, these names are ALL great! It's going to be so much FUN to have the contest! Remember, you have until March 13th to submit a name! Then, we'll have a vote! (The winner gets a junk treasure box from me...your own personal Junk Train to keep! LOL) Thanks to those who entered so far! You're all so dog-gone creative...not only in garden junk but with your words! Keep the names coming! Bear Hugs! Kirk

Well court costs money. If we take it to court we should have a lawyer. Lawyers need retainer fees. If we do get child support it will be a small amount and will not amount to our lawyer fees anytime in the near future. As for visitation we are reasonable and always have been. Maybe we have even been too reasonable and accommodating in the past. They should have schedules summer visitation before summer began. We are not bending and even discussing making plans this late in the summer. We are not talking about a week long trip in driving distance. We are talking about flying across the country, which would require a few week stay to make the money worth it (as said by the grandparents). There are only a few weeks of summer left and we have 2 long weekend family get-aways planned and booked. We are not changing our plans because they all could not get their act together to plan something in advance. If you had been through what we have been through with the bm and planning visits you would not want to bend either. When she lived in state she was a nightmare. She would either plan visitation and do a no show no call. Later we would hear excuses of how she worked overtime (though we called her work when she did not show and were told she was off for the day). Or she would show up pounding on our door at 6 or 7am to wake us all up on some random day demanding to take the kids without calling at least the night before to make arrangements. She could care less if we had plans with the kids already, she felt the world revolved around her and what she wanted. She even took the kids out of state once and said she would be back one day and then she did not show up until more than a whole day later. We had no way to get a hold of her and she did not bother to call. So we just sat worrying that something happened until we called her job and they said she called off. Funny how she managed to call work but did not bother to call us. My dh always caved and gave her what she wanted--he would say that it was for the kids. Well we are way past caving to her every whim. Last summer she made visitation plans pretty late and my dh told her to make them earlier next time. So now she waits till way later and they all think we should just accommodate? Perhaps when he** freezes over!
